I have about 1000 Miles on my tech-line manifolds and turbine housing with turbo X, holding up well, I did have a small chunk peel off the turbine housing but that was where the paint ran and it was thicker(so it didn't cure fully). The instructions say to do 1 coat and don't coat it very thick. All in all, best coating I have had yet. Well worth the $ and time.
I had the 1300 degree stuff done locally on my typhoon's DP and it holds up but doesn't retain heat that well. This stuff works better and has a nice finish after heat cycled.
I have used it before and it works well. I'm doing all my turbo hot parts with it. I may buy some extra and if somebody wants their turbines, hot parts done lmk, I can do them also. I have a Powder coating shop and also do LS plastic intakes. Lmk thanks Clint
I think no matter what the coating, rust will make it through if it is not coated completely and blasted super well before hand. I tried some on some VHT 2000 degree stuff on some mild tubing I had laying around and left it in the rain for a couple months and it looked fine. But I also sanded it down really well and cleaned it before paint. My turbine I was not able to get quite as clean and I can see a couple spots leaking through. But I have seen that happen a time or two with professional coatings as well.
Agreed! But it is not nearly as visually rewarding while you are doing prep work, lol. Same thing with welding though. Prep work and fit up will dictate how good you are able to weld something for sure!
Just an update. I was all excited about this, but they have changed their # and after finally getting ahold of them, they only sell to shops now. You must be an authorized user of their product. Yeah. I hate when this **** happens. If I wanted to spend thousands of dollars for someone to do what I can do, then I would have just had a shop build my vehicle.

I used this stuff and it looks great. I haven't heat cycled it yet though. I chose it because it's air cured. Some of my pieces were too big to fit in my oven http://www.cerakotehightemp.com/fini...glacier-black/
The oven is the tough part, I have tried blowing the torch inside to cook them-I might try a can of that, and while the wife is at work, crank up the oven, lol
Like painting a car, surface prep is important.
Those GM built turbo manifolds have really made life easier, lol
the first is the fiberglass-like splinters. the itch drives me crazy. I wrenched on a composite navy vessel for a year during it's fabrication and testing phase and it was miserable! I suppose I could get past that with thick leather gloves and full sleeves while applying but then i'd get hit while changing plugs or whatever.
second, the wrap seems to trap moisture making mild and cast stuff rust out even faster (again Oregon problems, lol)
if there is a coating that can do the same job or even like half the job wrap does then i'd be down. I just wanna see some results before I throw down.

oh dude please dont. i did exactly what you mention in my youth. baked a couple parts...then the next time i did my special pancetta au gratin it tasted like i licked the floor of a body shop. immediately bought a new stove. sadly not one of my worst ideas from the time period...
